Shuffle Playlist
Original
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1154030/
Shuffles all items on the playlist similar to MPC-HCs randomize playlist function.
How To Install:
- download "shuffle.lua" (download button on the right)
- put it in the VLC extensions folder (create it, if it doesn't exist):
for Windows: %APPDATA%\vlc\lua\extensions
for Linux: ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
for Mac OS X: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
- restart VLC
To use, simply click on View → Shuffle Playlist (or VLC → Extensions → Shuffle Playlist in some versions of VLC)
If you're not quite happy with the result, simply shuffle again!

Maybe try "VLC → Extensions → Shuffle Playlist".

I hoped your it would save me (and I'm sure it will !)... but atm, I don't see your button in the interface.
Btw, I restarted VLC. I also checked that the extension is shown as "active" in the menu.
Using version 2.1 (Terry Prachett, 2015-04)
Also, could you bind some keyboard shortcut to the function ? e.g ctrl-shift-R, which IIRC, is the winamp shortcut for this function. MPC or any other would probably be a good choice too, anything to avoid having to click.

it's well hidden, in view -> shuffle playlist
Update or syntax for bindong a shortcut for a plug-in action would still be welcome.
I tried to edit the LUA file, but it would be easier if I knew LUA :). Atm, I only managed to break it.

VLC extensions are completely underdeveloped, definitely underdocumented and in some ways even outright broken.
